If I made a mistake and this is indeed a sale of physical real estate, then shoot me a text and we'll figure out a time to chat further thanks. 

Your mistake (which almost all of you are making) is that you are not trying to find motivated sellers.Do you think someone with a crappy yard is a motivated seller?

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.

The Texas real estate contract is changing the verbiage for what is considered a 'cash' offer, eliminating borrowing of any kind (hard money lenders, private money, etc.).

These are 400+ unit developments, in the $30million+ range yet the structure of the deal eliminates the majority of the 'headaches', other than calling to curse out the sponsor every once in a while to keep them on their toes.Real estate is a businesses where I have found that there is almost always an increasing marginal return to economies of scale.

If you fail, evauate why you failed and learn from your mistakes.

That way, if you make a mistake, it will be a small mistake.Hope all of that makes sense. 

I targeted a lower value home because I thought that if I made a mistake at least it would be a small mistake. 

If the person's name is long and unique keep in mind mistakes when recorded happen and even if there is a misspelled name in the recording the mortgage is still recorded against the property.   

All of us have made mistakes in RE if we've been doing it for more than 20 minutes.
